Subject: [Spridgets] Rear Spring Question

Our 1970 Midget has been sagging in the back. So, I ordered new standard
springs from Moss. The front springs are the standard height, not lowered,
and only a few years old. Just got the first spring in yesterday, and it has
a lot of curvature relative to the old one. That doesn't surprise me, but it
looks like installing the spring is going to give us the converse problem;
rear end sticking way in the air. I see they carry rears that have been
lowered one and two inches. They also carry a distinct spring for the 1500,
which I presume is the rubber bumper version.

Am I getting set to install the correct spring, or should I consider one of
the lowered springs?

Thanks,
Dave Ambrose
